Cirque du Soleil - LOVE Las Vegas Reviews

The Love Show is a Cirque du Soleil performance set to Beatles music and it is brilliant! Cirque du Soleil is a performance company with a unique blended style that is an astounding fusion of dance, acrobatics and circus acts.

I will declare straight away that I am a BIG Beatles fan and as I'm from the Liverpool area I just had to see this show while in Vegas.

The tickets are not cheap and for our family of four I had to take a deep breath as I paid the bill, particularly as I went for premium seating near the front. All of that was forgotten as soon as the show started though.

The performance was set to a seamless selection of Beatles music where one track leads into another without pausing. The act explodes with action to up tempo songs like 'Sargent Pepper', with breathtaking displays of acrobatics and trapeze, only to become more graceful, slower paced and balletic to songs like 'Strawberry Field'. The music isn't taken straight from the original recordings but is beautifully rearranged specifically to fit the show.

The costumes, the acrobatics, the dance, the props, the spectacle and of course the music were all totally awe inspiring and I would recommend it to anyone who likes the Beatles - and even to those who aren't that keen.

By the way, the extra cost of the premium seats weren't strictly necessary as the stage cuts into the auditorium and the performers run up the isles into the crowd, so everyone gets a great view.

There are strictly no photos or filming allowed so I can't post photos here so you'll just have to see the show for yourself!

At approximately $100 a ticket this may seem quite expensive but when you compare it to equivalent shows on the strip it is very competitively priced. Thats the pricing out of the way now time for my review of the show, WOW!!! This will blow you away, as I am sure you will know it is based around the music of Beatles and although I am a massive Beatles fan , either not knowing the music or not really being a fan will not detract from the experience. The stage is set in the middle with seats all around like an auditorium feel and I promise you will immediate want to go and see this for a second time as there is so much going on you will not catch everything.

Just to give you a heads up this is the most expensive Vegas Cirque show, tickets run from $100 and up. Everyone I know who's ever seen it raves about it and says its the best on the strip but personally I'd rather see Zumanity or Mystere. Its a great show don't get me wrong but not as good as some of the other ones.

Personally I don't care much for the Beatles music but if you're a fan you'll enjoy it a whole lot more.

It is also not as acrobatically inclined like other Cirque shows, this one has a lot more dance and crazy costumes!

If you have seen other Cirque shows, then this one is no different except for the awesome soundtrack, of course! Very imaginative and colorful. The show really pulls the audience into the music and show. I really, really enjoyed the show! I would definitely pay to see it again!

At over $100 a pop, tickets to the circus are not cheap. But Cirque du Soleil is the best circus you'll ever see, so if you've got the money and the inclination, it's worth it.LOVE is the newest Cirque offering, and the very first licensed use of the Beatles for any other artist, ever. Or so their website says. This show is all about the music, so let's get that out there right away. If you hate the Beatles, you have no business going to this show. (But seriously, who hates the Beatles?) It's far less physically impressive than any of their other shows (even Zumanity), so if you're looking for incredible feats of flexibility and brawn, I recommend seeing Ka, O, or Mystere, all of which are just down the street. No, this show is about the music, and the music only.There are some incredible moments of choreography, but there are also some sleepy stretches where nothing much happens at all. Although all of the songs used in the show are familiar, the actual music has all either been remixed or taken from unreleased versions, so you won't feel like you're just listening to your old albums over again. And with speakers in the back of every seat, you can be sure that you'll hear everything clearly and loudly.Rather than describe the whole show to you, let me say this: this is child-appropriate, feel-good show that has the whole audience in high spirits by the end. It will reaffirm your love of the Beatles, England, music, and life in general. If you're a Beatles fan, it really is worth seeing.
